With all the uncertainty around when the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) will demolish the 150-year-old Chira Bazaar market, the fate of more than 100 fisherwomen, vegetable vendors and meat shop-owners continues to hang in the balance.

However, members of the Chira Bazaar Maasli Vikreta Mandal (Chira Bazaar Fishsellers' Association) told mid-day that in all probability, the property will be demolished on Monday, almost three years after the MMRCL issued notice to them to vacate the premises by December 6, 2018, to make way for the Metro 3 construction work.
